Diverse Jobs

Here's the deal. I'm looking for a job. Now, I've just finished reading Reconciliation Blues and want to be a part of the solution, not passively part of the problem. I want to be a part of a diverse church that is "outward" focused. So I get online and type my way to all the Christian Job websites. I begin looking for just such a church and run into a big problem. 90% of the churches on the websites are 100% white. The web page banners include all white people, the staff are made up of all white people, the photos of congregates are all white people. What am I supposed to do? How can I be a part of the solution when I can't find- even and all African-American church to apply to? I just find it frustrating.
This is an honest question: where are all the African-American churches, and where do they post jobs? Is there a network for predominantly African-American churches that I don't know about?

Thoughts?
